Special Children


All children are very special and have specific needs but when we say "special needs children”, we mean those children who require extra help because of an emotional, medical, physical or some learning problem. These children have distinctive needs because they require extra attention or extra help at home or at school in addition to medical therapy unlike normal kids.

Have you ever seen a child who needs a wheelchair or uses braces when he walks? Those children have certain special needs. Moreover, children with an illness such as epilepsy or cerebral palsy are special needs children, too. They need medical aid, therapy in addition to extra care and help to go about their daily chores or routine activities. Children who have sight problems, hearing or speech problems are also special needs children.

Life can be quite challenging for these special needs children. It may be difficult for them to even conduct normal activities like learning to read or perhaps even getting around school or the market or mall. The wonderful news is that parents of such children, doctors, therapists and teachers in addition to special schools can help. The objective is to help these children become as independent as possible.
